Custom HTML & CSS Website

Nothing to update, nothing to break.

Hand-coded pages with nothing to update and nothing to break. Complete SEO in the build price, and the whole repository is yours on delivery.

This is the right answer when the content barely changes, which describes more business sites than anybody admits. A firm site, a practice site, a company site with a dozen pages that get touched twice a year. All of the maintenance cost of a CMS, none of the benefit.

Who it is for — pick yours

Then a CMS is pure overhead. Hand-coded pages have no plugins to update, no database to hack, and nothing between the visitor and the content - speed is the default, not an optimization project.

Wix, Squarespace, and GoDaddy sites cannot leave with you - that is the deal you signed. Here you get the full repository on delivery: hand it to any developer and they carry on without me.

Complete SEO is in the build price - structure, schema, speed, Search Console - not billed on top. The separate monthly SEO service exists only for sites somebody else built.

What it costs

Published, not quoted on request.

A range rather than a figure, because page five of a site costs a fraction of page one. Where you land depends on how much design each page needs and how much of it is already decided.

Send your logo, and a brand guideline if you have one. Hosting is yours to buy, or I can buy it under your own Google account so the account stays in your name.

Work out your exact price

Open the real ones.

Every card opens full-size, and the live site is one more click from there.

Before you ask

The questions that come up.

If yours is not here, send it and you get a straight answer in writing.

Ask about your project

Send it to me and it is usually a same-day edit. If you know in advance that you will be editing weekly, this is the wrong choice and WordPress is the right one. That is a decision worth making now rather than after launch.

The opposite. There is no database query, no plugin chain, and no PHP execution before the first byte reaches the browser, and that shows up directly in Core Web Vitals. Google uses those as a ranking signal.

Yes, and it is in every build. Forms on a static site post to a third-party handler rather than to your own server, which also means there is no form plugin to keep patched.

Not the right one? Three ways to build, chosen around your team covers everything in websites & seo.
